I’ve always liked the idea of features converging into one gadget. Particularly when you are on the road it can help reduce the number of devices you need to take with you. But at the same time, I’m a believer that some activities warrant a dedicated device.

The 3DS is an interesting middle ground between these two for me. It is designed primarily to play games, but also offers a raft of other features that you can take advantage of largely for free. Because I’m usually focused on the games I don’t often put things like the Internet Browser and Letter Box message applications to the test.

In these two episodes of FGTV I lent a family a 3DS to take on holiday with them. Their mission was to use it to take pictures, find information online when they were abroad and keep in touch with us while they were away. We spent some time with them beforehand to see what their expectations were like as you can see above.
